Looks good

looks nice! only thing that bothers me is that cage.....after seeing that TJ endo last year at the SETTC and completely destroying the cage and the rest of the rig, not sure I would want one like that. The cage did do its job, it kept the driver safe, good thing a passenger wasnt with him though. it completely folded those A pillar plates on impact and the cage layed over. not trying to be an ass about it, just a precaution. I will have to try and find some pics later on today.

I appreciate the input, the cage isn't done yet, still have to add more to the front and rear and tie it to the frame, we also plan to connect the A pillars under the dash and they are made twice as thick as the kits you order, once again I appreciate the advice and that may be something to look into as we continue the built

KXCRAWLER13 · Mar 24, 2010

The staunches collasping is no worry to me that's the reason I build my own and not buy prefabed mine r 5/16 thick cols folded and guseted so no worries on cage failed

Headed over last night and we got it on the ground for the first time in a few weeks, here are a few pics as of last night, I am really pleased with the work and effort Gary has put into this build, front truss is SICK, air bumps, high steer and gears should be in this week, booyang

looks good, looks like it sits nice and low for a TJ :woot:

nateb83 · May 23, 2010

Appreciate it, that was the whole goal to get it as low as we could, it will sit about 2 inches higher with the shock nitro level set and the belly will be right around 25" of clearance

FroggF350 · May 24, 2010

Saw this rig saturday, its low for sure. Good lookin build.

nateb83 · May 24, 2010

I appreciate it man, Garys put alot of hours into it and hopefully we should be getting close, Memorial day is probably out of the picture now, I have added some more stuff :dblthumb:
